Saopha'', ''Chaofa, or Sawbwa (, ; Shan: ) was a royal title used by rulers of the Mong (, ) of the Shan States of Myanmar (Burma). The words are often taken to mean "king" and "kingdom" in the Shan and Tai languages. In some ancient Chinese literature it was recorded as 詔 (; Modern ), for example Six Zhao and Nanzhao. Chao Fa ((タイ語:เจ้าฟ้า)) is the Thai equivalent. Chao is from Middle Chinese 主 (zhǔ "master"), and Fah means Sky or Heaven. According to local chronicles, some dynasties of saophas date from as early as the 2nd century BCE; however, the earlier sections of these chronicles are generally agreed to be legendary.〔 〕 == See also == *List of rulers of Shan states 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「saopha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
